Jealousy - Lori McKenna

I know jealousy is a terrible roommate

I know judgement’s a hard friend

I have seen the look of anger

Again and again and again

I want to be warm and happy

Don’t want to find myself cold

I want to feel so young and pretty

But I feel so old

Preacher says to love thy neighbor

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

You won’t find yourself tormented by jealousy…

Well I love my sister, I love my brothers too

Don’t want to feel myself

Holding resentment towards you

Preacher says to love thy neighbor

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

You won’t find yourself tormented by jealousy

Sweet jealousy…

Loneliness makes a horrible lover

And hatred can’t fill your soul

But it creates for you this illusion that you are whole

And greed is a good ambition

But passion will treat you right

I want to live my life by love and appetite

Preacher says to love thy neighbor

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

You won’t find yourself…

Tormented by jealousy…

Jealousy is a terrible roommate

Judgement is a hard hard hard hard hard friend…

It’s a hard friend
